Being part of this site has only been a very short part of my dog-wanting life, but I'm very, very happy to report that a payment has been made, and contracts reviewed... Finally, after almost 20 years of waiting... I'm getting a puppy. :]

Everyone, meet "Jack"!

(Totally grabbed this photo from the breeder's fb. Haha. Hope she doesn't mind...)

Jack is 9 months old, bred by Carra Cole of Oakwind Corgis in Tennessee. I'm not sure I'll keep the name "Jack" yet, but for now, it'll do. I do kinda like it...

I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who told me that when I find "the one", I'll know. I admit I was a little skeptical, but you guys were right! I called up Carra last Friday after waiting a few days for an email reply, thinking I'd just leave a voicemail (I had another breeder I was planning on calling that evening). But she picked up, and we ended up talking for an hour about corgis. (Wow how amazing is it to talk to someone who loves corgis as well! All my friends just think I'm crazy as they laugh and shakes their heads! Lol.) If Jack is really how she describes him, he's exactly what I'm looking for. I got off the phone feeling great! I didn't even bother calling the other breeder. Haha.

The next day she sent over the contract, and a few hours ago I sent it back and paypal-ed over the payment. She called me again earlier tonight just to make sure I wanted Jack for sure, and we ended up talking for another hour and a half. Haha. Jack's going to the vet to get snipped tomorrow, and we're planning for a flight later this week, as long as weather at Dallas-Fort Worth airport cooperates! That and if the vet ok's Jack to travel a few days after his surgery. I've got a lot of puppy shopping to do!

I'm beyond excited right now! I'm sure most of you know the feeling. I couldn't sleep last night because that's all I could think about! I barely slept, and had to walk to work, but the entire day I was in a great mood just thinking about how happy I am! Corgis are the next miracle drug, I swear. Haha.

Here's to hoping that the weather will be cool enough for Jack to fly here! Please keep your fingers crossed for us! (And if you're in the DFW area, please tell your weather to cool down. Haha. We need below 85!) I can't wait til Jack is here. Please prepare yourselves. There will probably be lots, and lots of pictures. :]
